Need to know some disadvantsges of a multivendor networking

\015 I need to know some of the obstacles and incompatibilities that may arise in a multivendor networking environment\015

Answers :

For all practical purposes, there are not any problems except for administrative purposes ie: learning login and password procedures for different routers, switches and telephony equipment. It is in my opinion better to stay with the same brands. Cisco is what I have alway used and i prefer it. Their support is unmatched as well.

Tips for a great answer:

- Provide details, support with references or personal experience .
- If you need clarification, ask it in the comment box .
